The 4 relevant weight classes in boxing right now

[Queen B]

Other weight classes seem to bring no interest. Sure theres Ward/Kovalev, Jack/DeGale, Charlo./JRock, but those seem to be 1 off fights and they need more time and build up around that weight class. The following are the most relevant weight classes in boxing right now



126
Lomachenko
Frampton
Santa Cruise
Walters
Now Oscar Valdez!!!

147
Thurman
Crawford (he said he'll move up)
Garcia
Khan
Broner
Porter
Bradley
Pac
Possibly Floyd

160
Canelo
GGG
Eubanks
BJ Saunders
Jacobs
Stevens
Lemiuex
Now Ryota Murata!!!

HW
Wilder
Joshua
Fury
Klitsch
Parker
Haye
Lets Go Champ

 

[Sunfish]

Straw weight
Lightweight
Caneloweight
Cruiserweight

 

[Kovalev's "Man Bag"]

Lomachenko is at 130/Jr. Lightweight now. Valdez just picked up the WBO Featherweight title that he vacated. Walters is at Jr. Lightweight now too. Canelo's never fought at the upper limit of 160 at Middleweight (fighting at 155) and his next fight is at 154/Jr. Middleweight.

To me it's HW , LHW, SMW, MW, JMW, WW, JWW but Welterweight and Heavyweight always stand out. Most prestigious

 

[Michael Wright]

IMO LHW is the most stacked. Kovalev, Beterbiev, Stevenson, Ward, Bivol, Gvodzyk, Eleider Alvarez, Jean Pascal, Smith Jr, Isaac Chilemba, Thomas Williams, Jr, Fonfara, Jurgen Brähmer, Cleverly, Shabranskyy, Yunieski Gonzalez, Egor Mekhontsev. Insane amount of current & upcoming talent.. Even Degale keeps hinting at 175? He's the best SMW!

Love GGG but 160 doesn't come close to depth like this! CEJ? LOL Canelo? Man Canelo won't even fight a MW so how's that work?

 

[DeJulez]

Its clearly WW followed by HW and then the 154-160 range.

WW has Thurman Garcia Spence Khan Porter Broner Pacquiao Brooks Bradley Jr possibly Crawford soon.

 

[actjac]

Welter
LHW
CW
Heavy

I'd replaced Middle with Light Heavy on the original list posted.

Apparently Jacobs is finished with 160 and Canelo is so terrified of Gennady to even publish his fight night weight. Two glaring omissions.

I weighed 179 on fight night for Crawford vs Postol

Muscle weighs more than fat. That's what out of shape people are meant to say right?
